OLED technology is based on organic semiconductors that are used to create beautiful, flexible and efficient display panels. OLED-Info, established in 2004, is the world's leading OLED industry portal - offering a range of services to the OLED industry including a web publication, newsletter, market insights, and marketing and business-development services.
Omdia estimates that shipments of OLEDs over 9-inch in size (which Omdia defines as large-area OLEDs, although most companies will refer to these sizes as medium-sized OLEDs) will increase 116.5% in 2024, and will rise a further 32.7% in 2025.
This growth is driven by increasing demand for OLED monitors, tablets and laptops.
The Redmi K80 smartphone offers a 6.67" 120Hz 3,200 nits (peak) 1440x3200 AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage.
The Redmi K80 Pro offers the same display (but covered with a Longjing Glass 2 instead of the Corning Gorilla Glass 7i used in the K80), and stronger specifications.
Huawei announced several new devices yesterday, all with AMOLED displays. We'll start with the Mate X6, a foldable smartphone that offers a 7.93" 120Hz 2240x2440 foldable LTPO AMOLED display, and a 6.45" 120Hz 1080x2440 LTPO AMOLED cover display.
Second is Huawei's new Mate 70 smartphone family, with 3 models. The basic Mate 70 has a 6.7" 2500 nits 120Hz 1216x2688 LTPO AMOLED display, while the 70 Pro and 70 Pro+ both sport a larger 6.9" 1316x2832 LTPO AMOLED displays. The interesting Mate 70 RS Ultimate edition that has a 6.9" 120Hz 3,500 nits 1316x2832 tandem LTPO AMOLED.
Oppo's Reno13 smartphone offers a 6.59" 120Hz 1256x2760 AMOLED display, a Mediatek Dimensity 8350 chipset, up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. The Reno13 Pro offers better specifications, including a larger 6.83" 120Hz 1272x2800 AMOLED.
Both Reno13 smartphones will ship by the end of November 2024, starting at around $350 in China.
Researchers from Durham University have used a unique molecule to create TADF emitters with better triplet harvesting, and thus extended lifetime. The fused indolocarbazole-phthalimide molecules offer rigidly planar charge-transfer and can maintain their stability and efficiency over time, even in high-stress conditions.
The researchers say that the new molecules break all our current ideas about excited states in OLED emitters and the researchers developed a new model linking molecular bonding patterns leading to the breaking of molecular pi-conjugation in the excited state.
Vivo's Y300 smartphone offers a 6.67" 120Hz 1080x2400 AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, 8 GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
The Y300 Will ship soon in China starting at around $250.
Applied Materials announced a technology, branded as MAX OLED that enables OLED display production on large glass substrates, aiming to provide a cost-effective solution to produce TV and TV displays. Applied developed and patented a new OLED pixel architecture and a "dramatically different manufacturing approach" that the company says enables brighter, clearer, more energy-efficient and longer-lasting.
Applied's new MAX OLED systems can scale from 6-Gen substrates to 8-Gen substrates, supporting the new wave of IT OLED production lines. Applied says that its new solution has strong customer interest - and already achieved repeat orders from several leading display makers (see below). Specifically, Applied announced that it will supply an R&D system to Samsung Display that will test the new production technology for its AMOLED and QD-OLED production technologies.
